Beowulf is a heroic poem, the earliest European vernacular epic. It deals with events of the early 500s AD and is believed to have been composed between 700 and 750. It is about a hero called Beowulf.

The poem opens to tell something of Beowulf, a prince of the Geats of southern Sweden.

In the second part the hero goes to Denmark, where a king's mead hall often is ravaged at night by a monster among Danes. The young Beowulf comes to the rescue. He grapples with the monster and its mother too, and kills both. That makes the Danes glad.

In the third part a fire-breathing dragon ravages Beowulf's land. Beowulf kills the dragon but is mortally wounded.

There is no evidence of a historical Beowulf, but some characters, sites, and events in the poem can be historically verified.

The following is the Strafford Riggs translation of 1933. Its language has been slightly modified for this on-line edition.Seluruh Hak Cipta Dilindungi Undang-Undang

THE ODYSSEY (Completed) oleh Homer

The Odyssey (Greek: Ὀδύσσεια Odýsseia] in Classical Attic) is one of two major ancient Greek epic poems attributed to Homer. It is, in part, a sequel to the Iliad, the other work ascribed to Homer. The Odyssey is fundamental to the modern Western canon, and is the second-oldest extant work of Western literature; the Iliad is the oldest. Scholars believe the Odyssey was composed near the end of the 8th century BC, somewhere in Ionia, the Greek coastal region of Anatolia. The poem mainly focuses on the Greek hero Odysseus (known as Ulysses in Roman myths), king of Ithaca, and his journey home after the fall of Troy. It takes Odysseus ten years to reach Ithaca after the ten-year Trojan War. In his absence, it is assumed Odysseus has died, and his wife Penelope and son Telemachus must deal with a group of unruly suitors, the Mnesteres (Greek: Μνηστῆρες) or Proci, who compete for Penelope's hand in marriage.

NONE SHALL INHERIT oleh EnigmaOfAbsolute

Year of Our Lord 1013. Francia is lost. Capetians usurpers sit the throne, fattened on treachery, while the last daughter of the Carolingian dynasty rots in exile. Emma of Normandy now lives beneath false names in forgotten keeps, guarded by liars who whisper of destiny but treat her like coin to be spent. When her enemies draw near, Emma flees across the sea to Denmark. There, she finds no peace, only more plots. King Sweyn Forkbeard sees in her a weapon to wield, a prize to marry to his young and untested son Canute. But the journey to Jelling is long, and her escort is led by Askeladd, a mercenary with veiled motives. Among them is Thorfinn, a young warrior burdened by vengeance, tasked with guarding a princess who refuses to be protected. As old empires die and new kings rise, Emma walks a knife's edge between pawn and player. The blood she's spilled cannot be undone, and the future she once killed for slips further from her reach. In the land of the Normanni, nothing is sacred... and none shall inherit without blood. Note: This is a work of historical fiction. While vaguely inspired by the real Emma of Normandy, the events herein are wholly reimagined through the brutal, tragic lens of Vinland Saga. It contains graphic violence, mature themes, and a stylized prose reflective of its medieval setting.

New Shores ➳ The Last Kingdom | Finan the Agile (The Northman's Daughter 1) oleh rosesnowstorm

Shaylee had nothing more to lose when she sneaked into a boat and left her homeland Ireland for good. She had burned all the bridges behind her, and her future was more than uncertain.

Or were all the stories true and he also did burn all the bridges connecting him with his Danish past. Would Uhtred Ragnarson take in the daughter of his Danish brother and will she be able to build a life in a foreign country? And would this life be better than the one she left behind? Without fear, without pressure but with a loving family, maybe even a family of her own? Inspired by the tv show "The Last Kingdom"

Beowulf oleh JSextonWrites

Beowulf is an Old English epic poem in the tradition of Germanic heroic legend consisting of 3,182 alliterative lines. It is one of the most important and most often translated works of Old English literature. The date of composition is a matter of contention among scholars; the only certain dating is for the manuscript, which was produced between 975 and 1025 AD.

The Story of Beowulf oleh kooljay

"The story is set in Scandinavia. Beowulf, a hero of the Geats, comes to the aid of Hrothgar, the king of the Danes, whose mead hall in Heorot has been under attack by a monster known as Grendel. After Beowulf slays him, Grendel's mother attacks the hall and is then also defeated. Victorious, Beowulf goes home to Geatland (Götaland in modern Sweden) and becomes king of the Geats. Fifty years later, Beowulf defeats a dragon, but is mortally wounded in the battle. After his death, his attendants cremate his body and erect a tower on a headland in his memory." -Wikipedia description More readable version of "The Story of Beowulf" from the Gutenberg library.

The Aeneid By Virgil Written 19 B.C.E oleh Kliofran

The Aeneid is an epic poem written in 12 books and is modeled in part on the great Greek epic poems, on Homer's Iliadand Odyssey, and on Apollonius' Argonautica. The Iliad describes the exploits of Achilles and other Greek heroes in the Trojan War (the same war which forced Aeneas to leave Troy and is described in Book II of the Aeneid) whilst the Odyssey describes how Ulysses (or Odysseus in Greek) wandered for many years, trying to return home after the Trojan War. The first six books of the Aeneid parallel the Odyssey because they describe Aeneas' search for a home. Aeneas even stops in many of the same places that Odysseus did. There is an important difference, however, for whilst Odysseus was trying to return to his original home, Aeneas must find a new place in which to settle and make his home. The second six books parallel the Iliad, for they describe the war in Italy just as the Iliad describes the Trojan War. Again, there are many parallels. For example, the Trojans are besieged inside their fort in Italy just as they were trapped inside Troy. But again there is an important difference, since the Iliad describes how the Trojans lost the war and Troy fell but in theAeneid the Trojans win the war in Italy and get the chance to build a new city. Virgil imitates many scenes from both the Iliad and the Odyssey in his epic, but he always changes them in significant ways so that they illustrate his own Roman themes. One of the most important differences between Homer's epics and the Aeneid is that it can be read as a patriotic poem whilst the Iliad and the Odyssey are poems about individuals and their adventures.

The nameless gods - Ivar the boneless oleh SussurridiInchiostro

What if the legend of the nameless gods were true? Can there exist on earth a love so boundless that it reflects that of two deities? Ragnar, father of Ivar and his brothers, leads his children to a devastated village near Kattegat. Among the rubble of what remains of a house, little Ivar, only three years old, finds a baby girl still wrapped in swaddling clothes. She is taken to Kattegat, where she will grow up with the sons of Ragnar Lothbrok. But what fate awaits Ivar and the baby? Two best friends, bound by deep feelings, find themselves torn apart by betrayal: he betrays her, and she flees, helped by someone very close to Ivar. After years of absence, she returns with a new identity, new alliances and...two twin sons (All characters are by the original creators, except Tyra and others I will introduce. Not everything will follow the "Vikings" series faithfully.) I was persuaded to write this story because there are so few complete stories about Ivar, and none of them are exactly how I would like to read them. Although many are wonderful. The story is not complete but I'm perfecting it 05/06/2025 1 #ivartheboneless 27/07/2025 2 #ivarlothbrok 02/07/2025 1 #ivarragnarsson 15/07/2025 1 #celtic 18/06/2025 163 #series 01/09/2025 6 #norse 01/09/2025 1 #ragnarok 14/06/2025 327#story 24/06/2025 9 #york 14/06/2025 305 #historical 15/06/2025 400 #ff

Or Else Let Her Be Mine And Mine Alone oleh Bravebike

Just before Esmeralda's hanging, Frollo decides to give her a last chance to choose him over the gallows. Being devastated from the events, what if she accepts? Mostly based on the book but contains some elements from the Disney movie. Anyone who has read/seen either of them can follow. The first half (chapters 1-23) focuses on Frollo/Esmeralda while the second half focuses on Quasimodo/Esmeralda. Warning- Uses of the G-slur (I've tried to restrict it as much as I can) Contains religious, emotional, physical and sexual abuse like the OG works Contains instances of racism and misogyny Many characters are terrible people Also posted on to Ao3 in case you're interested
